With regards to my parent’s teachings, I feel my conversion to membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, my missionary services to the church, and marriage to Julia have successfully developed my intellect in college. After my family emigrated from Laos to the United States in 1986, we were taught the gospel of Jesus Christ by missionaries, and were baptized members of the church in September 1986. At the time I was just 9 years-old. We attended church services regularly, and participated in most of the activities in the church. I made many good friends, and learned a lot about the church.

His life has reflected his love for God and with this, he has always ministered a public testimony of faith (Bloom 3). He touched more people than any modern day evangelist. More than 2.5 million of Billy Graham’s past audiences say that they have found Jesus Christ in their lives because of his messages. All of Graham’s books have made millions, just because of his recognition throughout the world. Billy has impacted everyone from the poorest person to the President of the United States (Raphael 1).
“Bridge Builders seeks to develop among high school students a group of future leaders who can lay aside individual and cultural differences and work for the benefit of all.” This is the mission statement for Bridge Builders which is a program that I participated in my junior year of high school, and now actively involved with my senior year. The program, without a doubt, lives up to its mission statement. During the program we participated in leadership, personal, and team building activities. The program’s methods taught me how to be a great leader in any situation, whether I was leading myself or a group. I also made life-long friendships, and I am still meeting new people at our meetings that we have during the school year.
We have worked with people keen to share their story to help others and held events across the country where people in recovery have shared their hopes and fears in relation to the recovery agenda. I am proud of our achievements over the past year. We have grown our membership to over 580 members and sponsored events and organisations to support their own work on recovery. We have built a strong foundation from which we plan to grow and develop our work over the years to
Outside of school, I am also committed to the quality of leadership by welcoming new challenges and inspiring others around me. For example, when I was a freshman in high school, I gathered a group of other dedicated singers and appealed to the Pacific Grove Unified School Board on behalf of the cutting of the chorus class at the Pacific Grove High School. My dedication to leadership continues as I am a member of the People to People Ambassador Program. People to People is an international organization dedicated to helping youths travel the world and make a difference in the world. I have traveled on two People to People trips including a visit to Boston, Massachusetts where I was able to stay in the Harvard University dorms and participate in a two week program dedicated to helping students become better leaders in their community.
All the traditions, all the hard work, all the love we have as friends, family, and community have taught me how to be a part of a caring family like the Gilroy/Christopher Alliance where everybody has your back no matter what. It was a great two years with you all.
This quote encouraged me to get involved doing and enjoying volunteer work in my community. Throughout my high school years, I have been doing a lot of community service at my old middle school, Solomon schechter. When I'm there, I have to help the kids with their homework and play with them any games or sports that they would like. In addition, it helped me realize that I can't always be reliant on other people. If there's anything I want done, I need to be the person to do it.
He needed to talk to me about the process. He stated that my job knowledge was superb and I had completed the two parts of the process with the highest score. Then I heard that all so familiar word, “but” at this time the Chief cannot promote you to lieutenant. So the first word out of my mouth was why, he explained it was obvious my fellow firefighters loved me or I would not have done so well on the process. In a department as large as this in my short time I had only been exposed to a short percentage of the firefighters.
Because of my past addiction problems and life experiences, I believe that I would be an excellent candidate for furthering my education in the field of behavioral health. I have developed a healthy passion for helping others that are suffering from the disease of addiction, in which I have suffered from myself. I have a great sense of empathy for those who are suffering with mental health and addiction disorders; in turn I can make a positive impact on our community. Through the recovery process I have learned a great deal of responsibility and accountability of my actions, which I plan to incorporate into my pursuit of my education. I have developed much ambition over the last few years and will use this and my other newly acquired tools to change my life and the lives of others for the better.
